Confessions of a Book Collector Tag!
Created by Mike@Bibliophile-Reads
I was tagged by youtube.com/watch?v=nK7vzWvOsCk&t=216s
Subtitle: The honest things every book collector knows… but doesn’t always admit.
1. I own more books than I can realistically read.
2. I’ve bought books just because they were beautiful.
3. Finding a great book is sometimes more exciting than reading it.
4. I’ve bought duplicates by accident—or because I liked a different edition.
5. I sometimes rearrange my shelves for fun.
6. There are books I’ll probably never read, but I’ll never get rid of them.
7. I’ve bought books simply because they were a bargain.
8. I like the idea of having certain books, even if I don’t plan to read them soon.
Ending Question
What’s one confession you have as a book collector? What’s something you do that you think other collectors would understand?
